Keep in mind that these units come from the factory with just enough capacity to power the unit when it is operating at normal specifications. However once the unit has been peaked or modified, the power supply in its present form, may not provide the needed power for the radio to operate at full potential. in order to remedy this situation, one of the easiest things to do is to replace the large filter capacitor in the power supply. In most radios these are either 2200uf to 330Quf and the voltage range is from 25 to 35 volts. Just by replacing the standard electrolytic with a 6800uf 50 volt electrolytic will give the power supply some very much needed breathing room, as well as additional filtering. This will go a long way toward eliminating any power line noise from your radio thus improving your receive as well. Another weak point that is often overlooked is the on/off switch. Again these switches are often not capable of supplying the radio with enough power for normal operation. This is true not only in base radios but also many mobile radios as well. Their performance is severely hampered by the on/off switch. A bad on/off switch can often cause many strange problems to occur, such as garbled transmit to frequency instability. A good solution is to mount 4 toggle switch in the back of the radio or any location of your choice and wiring it up so that it replaces the standard on/off switch, We recommend using a DPST switch rated at least 5 amps and using both poles for double switching. This way you will be doubly assured that the unit is getting adequate power. Again you will probably be surprised at the difference that this modification alone will make in your radios performance on transmit. ©1995 Fhesners Prablishing (217) 466-4210 CB TUNE-UP MANUAL Master Edition Vol. 3 [6]DAK MARK 'X } i POWER: MODIFICATION (Note: tise caution when working on any tube type device. Te voltages present can be lethal. Always discharge] the filter capacitors completely before attempting any repairs or modifications, Instructions 41, Locate VT201, the Driver Tube.(128Y7). This is the tube with the metal twist off cover over it just behind the relay. Remove this tube and install a 12GN7 in its place, We recommend using only Syivania ‘Tubes when possible. 2. Next locate VT202, the Final Tube (666). Remove this tube and install a 6Y6 in its place. The 6Y6 will be a litle larger than the original tube so you will have to bend the heat sink in order to get it to fit, Be ‘sure that after you are done that the heat sink still makes good contact with the tube. 3, Now tum the unit over and locate the two big black 10 watt power resistors mounted on the bottom. One of them is R309 a 2.2K (2200 Ohm) and the other is R310 a 1K (1000 Ohm). Normally R310 is, mounted on the top of the array. Before proceeding be sure that the unit is not plugged in and that the fiter capacitors are totally discharged 4, Now mount a SPDT toggle switch in any place of your choice. Be sure to use a switch that is rated at least 3 amps. Now solder a piece of 16 gauge 2 wire hook-up wire to the switch. Use a long enough piece to reach from the switch to the location of R310. One side of the wire goes to the center pole and the other wire goes to the bottom pole on the switch. Solder the other ends to each side of R310 so that when you fip the switch up R310 ts effectively shorted across. You now have will HIGH POWER with the switch flipped UP and LOW POWER with the switch flipped DOWN, 1985 Tomas Pablahing.

One end of O41 connects to pin 4 on the tube socket and the other end Is connected to L202 (RF Choke). Now remove R211 and replace it with a 470 Ohm 2 Watt resistor. Be sure to recheck your connections before turning the unit on. 6, Now turn the unit on and set the unit fo channel 19 on USB. Using a peak reading meter, Key the unit and inject @ constant tone into the mike, Adjust L201, L802, C902 and then C903 for maximum power swing, 1201 is the adjustable col located between VT201 and VT202 tubes. L902, C902 and C908 are located inside of the square metal box just behind the VT202 tube, C903 is the large white trimmer cap ‘and ©902 is the small trimmer cap. Be sure to use an insulated driver while adjusting C902 and C803. ‘Also be sure to adjust these on SSB only in order to assure proper alignment. 6, Ir everything has gone well you should find that the unit now develops between 26 to 40 watts of power con AM, and SSB output power should be between 25 and 0 watts of peak power.

Next mount 2 Single Pole Single Throw toggle switches in a convenient location, normally on the front radio panel. Now tie the two bottom poles of the two switches together by soldering a piece of hook-up wire across them. Use a fong enough piece of wire for this so that after you tie these two poles together you have enough to solder the other end to the circuit board ground. 4. Now Solder a piece of hook-up wire from the middle pole of the first switch (SW-1) to the cathode ends (banded ends) of the diodes. Next solder a piece of hook-up wire from center pole of the second switch (SW-1) to pin 9. 5. Next re-check all your connections in order to be sure that you haven't any shorts or solder bridges, 6. Now turn the unit on and check for normal operation. With both switches in the down position you should have the normal 40 channels. Now put the unit on channel 30 AM With the SW-1 switch down and SW-2 switch up, key the radio and check for 27.945. If it's not there you will need to carefully adjust the VCO slightly in order to get it to pop in. The VCO is the adjustment located in the oblong metal can just to the upper right of the main PLL chip. 7. Once that you have 27.945, check for power output on channel 4 (leave switches in the same position) compared to the power output on 27.945. Usually it wil be lower on the upper channels. In order to correct this you will need to balance the power by adjusting T4' while on 27.945, Adjust T4 in USB transmit mode while injecting a constant tone into the mike. Adjust T4 until the power output is equal or fairly close to the output on channel 1. See the next page for the channel chart of your new channels.

For this reason it is almost impossible to show all of the different installation instructions. Most radios do not have access points on the top of the boatd in order to hhook-up the #3 and #4 wires. On these radios it will be necessary to locate the input coil to the Driver Amp on the back of the circuit board and make the appropriate cut. One such radio is the Realistic TRC-469 radio shown below. Always be sure that once you have located the Driver input coil that you are on the correct side of this coll before making the cut in the circuit board trace. Always be sure that your cutis after the Final Amp Input coil and just before the input col to the Sp for proper operation. [ Another possibility is to unsolder and lift the eorret side ofthe Driver Input coil, Onee ths has been dane you would Solder the #4 wi fo the Input coil, and the #3 wire goes into the circuit board hole where the Input coil was removed. Then solder the #3 wire and the #4 wire in the correct location, Once all your wires are connected , turn the radio ‘on and check for proper operation. Key the radio into a wattmeter and observe that your dead Key power should go from 0 watts to maximum wattage by tuning the RF GAIN control clock-wise. Next turn the RF GAIN control fully counter-clockwise. Check to make sure that the wattage swings forward as you speak into the microphone.

Only to have it returned -- many weeks later -- with their standard bill of 42.50 plus parts and shipping. Yet you know that the problem was something minor or something that you could have repaired had you only known. Even more frustrating is that if you look at the repair invoice to see what they replaced, the invoice dees not match the repair job. In other words what they show replaced on the invoice, shows no sign of being changed in your scanner. So you wonder, what was the problem. Keep in mind that close to 85 percent of all electronic problems are of a minor nature. Many of these manufacturers are well aware of problems that keep ye-occurring in their products, or even what parts are more likely to fail. However as we all know, they are very reluctant to share this information with you and me. Some of them even go to great lengths to disguise repairs, to hide the obvious. Naturally this helps to put money in their pockets, and ends up costing you, the technician. Our goal is simple — to supply you with as much repair information as possible to remedy this situation and return these dollars to you. ©1908 Fhomas Publishing (217 7) 066-4810 €B TUNE-UP MANUAL Master alton Vol. 3 [46]Uniden BC-140xt BB PROBLEM: Unit does not scan, no audio or Squeleh, CURE Locate IC-1 (MC3359P) 18 pin chip. Check the Voltage on Pin 4. This voltage should read about 6.9 Volts, If this voltage is absent or very low the suspect part is C38, a 100uf 10Volt electrolytic capacitor. C38 is located next to FT2, an orange filter with the #SFR 450D on it. Replace C38 with 2 100uf 16 Volt or higher capacitor. After replacing C38 you should now have voltage on pin 4 of IC-1 and the unit should now funetion properly. Uniden Bearest 800XLT PROBLEM: Unit has no digit display or digita are dim. Unit will not program and has no receive. CURE : Check for 4.16 Volts on Pin 5 of IC7. If this voltage is off or very low replace the 88uf 35 ‘Volt electrolytic capacitar (C98) located between IC7 and transformer T (Labeled ‘TF-317). Replace this capacitor with a 33uf 50 Volt. Be sure that the positive side of this capacitor goes to pin 5 of ICT. Re-check pin 5 of IG7 for 4.16 volts. If this voltage is still off, TL may be bad. The negative side of the 33uf GOvolt capacitor goes to a winding of TI. The other side of this winding goes to smound. In some cases this winding may be open. Check for continuity of this winding. If open replace T1. Normally just replacing the 33uf capacitor will cure the problem in most units. 6Fin Keyboara Pu oe TTT & ee a uma 61995 Thomas Pabliing (217) 160-4210 CB TUNE-UP MANUAL Master Edin Vol. 2Uniden Bearcat 800:XLT.
